"Four men have not yet made contact with their wives." Indeed.

Snowed into a Pub, Ashbourne, Co. Meath, Ireland 1982 0346am 10.1.25 so long were they barricaded in there that they forgot they were married... it is my dream to get an after hours slot or be trapped in a pub with a lady.............................................

[@Beautiful_Sacred_Land]

That was a great blizzard. Happy memories of going down hill on black plastic bags..walking in the middle of the roads. No cars. Snow wasnt even cleared in Dublin.

[@annebracken7757]

I remember it well! I loved it! I now live in a place where there’s a lot of snow but its not such a big deal here!

[@tacitusromanus8239]

Yes, indeed. I lived in Co. Meath at the time. We had fun having snowball fights. I remember some of the drifts were almost 6 feet tall. The electricity went out; the water was gone; so much destruction in a short time. The army had to come in and bring people into town as there were no buses running due to the snow. However, those were simpler and happier times than now.

[@annebracken7757]

@ yes, i am very thankful to have lived through it!

[@tonemc6047]

People are having nervous breakdowns now over a sprinkling,we have become soft .

[@gw8147]

Paradise, stuck in a pub for 3 nights in 1980s Ireland.

[@kirkbrown8189]

If I had to be trapped somewhere in the snow I would choose a pub!

[@patrickheneghan2794]

More genuine and wholesome times back then..

[@calvinsaxon5822]

Yes, Tommy Heavany and John O'Reilly look really upset. Really angry at havin' to stay in a pub for three days straight...and this time with a handy airtight excuse.

[@gerardhoey-fj1fr]

1977, 1979 and 1982 big blizzards. We have become soft in Ireland. Now a light skift of snow or a chilly night is "Red wearher event" sigh.

[@davidr5964]

There were zero red warnings in Ireland this time.

[@brendancooney9401]

7 people died during that snow event.

[@breenwalshe7667]

Jaysus was often stuck in a pub in Tipperary for days........and no snow 😂great times

[@arthurconan1899]

I loved it all.... Great Days

[@clearskies]

i remember it well

[@ShredCo]

The poor old man, his wife only out of the hospital last friday and now this...

[@sheiladelahunt1989]

I hope someone had their instruments and voices with them it would have been a great session !

[@John-cn9bq]

Im confused, if they were trapped on the pub how could rte just casually rock up and get in there chatting

[@richardmoore8093]

Shuush i know it was over forty years ago but dont give them away😂

[@shutup2751]

Ireland so community spirited back then, before globalism showed it's face

[@annebracken7757]

Don’t worry it will come back because the people will have no choice!

[@truthplease4868]

Yeah let’s go back to horses and carts

[@Noelmartin2983]

Never happen all the normies are injected and dumbed down and would run out and do it all again if instructed to do so.

[@brendancooney9401]

Nah, it was the same then as it is now

[@jamesreilly8328]

Yep the banking mafia pee do cabal have a proper grip on most countries now, future doesn’t look good at all, their evil moto is, you will own nothing and be happy, eat the bugs, nwo evil.

@1:32 "Walk up behind the JCB there for the camera Pat good man"... @1:35 "Pat get out of the way!"

[@kevinbermingham6072]

😂😂😂

[@davidpryle3935]

That looks like the White House Pub, which is neither in Ashbourne or county Meath. It is in The Ward county Dublin. It is normally the other way round, places in county Meath being designated as county Dublin.

[@davidpryle3935]

Maybe that’s why it took so long to get the snow shifted, they were phoning Meath County Council when they should have been phoning the Dublin one 😂🤣

[@dubcindub15]

@@davidpryle3935 True, the border is only about 1 mile or less up the road past the Coolquay. Maybe the Rutledges were "accidentally" calling the wrong number 🤑

[@I...am...becauseIhavetobe]

I remember the Garda car in the first opening of the video very cool they should have kept it... Crime was low when they had that car❤😂 I don't know what they have today but it's not working

[@typower9]

Girl: 'I want to go home', Reporter: 'Have you enjoyed it here........' !!@@@@#$*%*??!?

[@TheHorsebox2]

I live near there, and when the snow melted, I bought my first ever car.

[@SinnFeinAreCommunists]

They didn’t have much but they had a culture, they had beliefs and they have a bit of pride in the country. None of which we have today.

[@brendancooney9401]

Clueless comment. Obviously not from ireland

[@davidpryle3935]

Many people in 1980s Ireland had quite a lot actually.

[@TheGkev]

Where are the council priorities. Should have rescued the women and children ......

[@tonyinit8488]

Ah snow aint so bad.... just dont eat the yellow variety ....

[@darrenfarrell-bn2cb]

1982 was bad , 1979 March was worse

[@MariaHunter-o1x]

I remember this so well. My dad was walking on top of cars and field gates and didnt know it because the snow was so deep. Fast forward to today and we have people freaking out over 14 inches whilst screaming " climate change" 😂. If anything, the weather has improved. Thanks for this video

[@Anonymous11612]

How are you this thick? There's a difference between weather and climate.

[@eddiestaunton514]

I miss this Ireland every day

[@brianquigley1940]

👍 👍 👍 👍

[@anthonyslevin1717]

Quality 😂😂

[@BigBlack81]

Money, I bet.

[@Joedirt3349]

I'll take that action

[@seancoleman5021]

Boring snow. It is NOT a yellow orange RED multi weather hazard EVENT.

[@Joedirt3349]

That's some weird craic

[@elizacorkery6967]

I don't think we got daily alerts

[@jonhakkers370]

First

[@TheHorsebox2]

Good man.

[@irbfenian2594]

Must be climate change, can't wait to grow pineapples in north Cork.
